Motorsport UK sets Gold Standard
What do Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Motorsport UK have in common?
The answer is that all three have placed third in the Global Sustainability Benchmark in Sport( GSBS) report – with Motorsport UK achieving an impressive score of 80 / 100 among the 78 different participating sporting organisations around the world.
Performing well above the sporting industry average of 56, the governing body now ranks alongside two of the world’ s biggest and most affluent commercial football clubs and just five points behind global leaders Formula E.
Jessica Runicles, Motorsport UK’ s Head of Sustainability, presented a case study at the GSBS awards event, noting that this recognition highlights the world-leading work the organisation and its member Clubs have delivered in 2025. Sustainability Assistant Lowenna Cleary added,“ We are proud of this achievement. The ranking is important because it validates the work we have been doing internally and strengthens credibility externally.”
Motorsport UK was one of nine motorsport organisations assessed, and one of only two, alongside Formula E, to attain the GSBS gold standard. Dorna, Silverstone, Mercedes-AMG Petronas, and McLaren Racing all achieved silver with Extreme E, F1 and the FIA on bronze.
